Glad to see that we're back on track. So where are we now? Could someone please compile a list of all the things we agreed were present in the Sub-Roman British cavalry, each time I do someone usually starts fuming at me. Also, Ron Andrea, sorry to bother you but do you think you could PM me a copy of your novel?
PS: How's that steppe warrior camp going Alanus?
Later: Ok, I think you guys will find this interesting. I have been watching an episode of deadliest warrior pitting the Celt against a Persian Immortal and trust me, the Celtic longsword can do horrific damage. It smashed scale armour, didn't cut the leather mind you but did sever the bronze scales and give the guy a broken rib. On another note the same sword from horseback could sever a skull in half horizontally. I'll keep you guys posted, I'm not done watching.
Later still: The lancea results were just shown. It went directly through the pig and would have gone through at least one more, didn't even look hard.
